Voltaire had said,"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to death your right to say it!" Non deniably the human race has evolved since Voltaire's time in the 18th Century. One cannot deny the fact that humans have been the initiators of several revolutions, ranging from the Renaissance to the Green Revolution and the present Age Of Information. As Humans are the accumulators and the disseminators of knowledge, with changing times their needs also change. The 'issues' which were non debatable or concerned only a few, centuries ago might become the 'ideologies' of the individuals in the subsequent generations.

Thus considering the above mentioned factors, one realises that debates and dicussions are vital for the society, just like food, shelter and water. These discussions need encouragement and valid inputs from the Government, which is an elected representative by,of and for the people in a democracy. More over in a country like India where openness to new ideas and cultures is in a backlog, the Government should act as the backbone for these discussions to stand strong.

Alas! the Government in India has resorted to a makeshift ideology of "BANNING" things, not realising that it doesn't end the root problems plaguing the nation. The Government of India has imposed ban on n number of things and is not something that has started in the recent times. 

One can even consider the idea of banning if deemed justified, but the bans imposed in the recent times or before have never had a strong justification besides just an escapist mentality and the want to remain in power on the part of the Political Party in power. The banning list of the Government shows its never ending attempt to protect the society from the existing discrepancies(both of the system and the society itself). In the past one week 6 things were banned in India without any discussion on public forum and without considering the views of the majority. Some of the bans imposd by the Indian Government include- banning Fifty Shades Of Grey( apparently its against Indian Culture), The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie, India's Daughter (some politicians feel that it has been made to defame India and over emphasise India's faults...well someone's got to tell them that if there is nothing to point at and fuss over, no one will), AIB Knockout, Beef ban in Maharashtra etc etc....

Democracy in India is slowly drifting away from practicality towards an illusion of its existence.If everyone stops posing the question as to what is happening in our society, Democracy will end up as a theoretical concept for our future generations to study.

This video is an attempt to showcase that 'healthy discussion' is an efficient alternative to banning haphazardly, which has been and is a popular belief amongst the Government officials...!
